I'm trying to figure out how to calculate variance. I have a set of data and I need to determine how spread out the values are from the mean. Can someone explain the steps involved in variance calculation?

Subsequently, these differences are squared to ensure they are all positive, facilitating easier mathematical manipulation.

The sum of these squared differences is then computed, providing a cumulative measure of the dispersion of the data points.

To obtain the variance, this sum is divided by the total number of values in the dataset, yielding an average measure of dispersion.
